Chapter 305: The Day I was Mistaken as a Murderer (2)

Inez sucked in a breath, feeling the sting of her words even though she was not the recipient. "I am sorry."

"It’s alright."

It wasn’t alright, and Inez knew that it wasn’t. But the words had already left her lips, and she couldn’t take them back even if she wished to. Oh, how she hoped that her siren powers came with the ability to turn time back. But unfortunately, they didn’t.

It would have been much better if you had used your mind before opening your mouth. Her siren chimed inside her head, and Inez nearly lost her temper with her as well.

Scarlet and Ricky had their father by her side while she lost hers. Why? Because her mother fucked up really good? Why should she be the unlucky one? When her half-siblings were in a much better situation than her own?

Wow, pessimist much?

"That I did. I am not going to say that I had it better than you or that it wasn’t hard." She was trying to smooth the awkward air around the two. "How about we—" Inez was just about to suggest that they head over to the new cafe and order their strawberry boba tea when her foot got caught
